What are iNEST and CC1?
iNEST is a brand-new paradigm for an Innovation Ecosystem, aimed at developing technologies and disseminating culture to improve the wealth of North-Eastern Italian citizens. It is funded by the NextGenerationEU Program, together with the Italian Ministry of University and Research and the ItaliaDomani program.
Specifically, the goal of Cross-Cutting Activity 1 (CC1) is to transform brilliant research ideas by doctoral students and researchers into great entrepreneurial projects. You can try to submit your idea by applying for the Call for Exploring Ideas, which will be open until 15th February 2024. The 20 best ideas will be selected and turned into start-up projects. But there is a twist: the newborn selected start-ups will be assisted for free during the first part of their growth!
If you are interested in participating in the call and in particular if your business idea is based on a research result developed within your research activities, do not forget to formally notify the Valorisation and Innovation Office which will provide you with all the information and necessary instructions concerning its protection (if possible) and formal internal disclosure.
